Abstract

C: I: Parhon and his colleagues have drawn attention to the existence of psychic disorders, especially manic-depressive and delusional, in a range of endocrine disorders such as acromegaly, gigantism, adipose-genital dystrophy, highlighting the aggressiveness of patients with acromegaly. A number of clinical trials have shown that pituitary dysfunction can be associated with schizophrenia and even epilepsy. In this study, 19 patients were diagnosed with acromegaly following STH dosing, resulting in values higher than the upper limit (ie above 5 ng / mL in men or over 10 ng / mL in females). These patients had complete neurological examination, electroencephalogram, psychological examination, and the Hamilton depression scale.

  • C: I: Parhon and his colleagues have drawn attention to the existence of psychic disorders, especially manic-depressive and delusional, in a range of endocrine disorders such as acromegaly, gigantism, adiposegenital dystrophy, highlighting the aggressiveness of patients with acromegaly

  • Many pituitary adenomas are capable of synthesizing adenohypophyseal hormones, clinically outlining characteristic hypersecretory syndromes by: excess of prolactin (PRL), growth hormone (GH), corticotropic hormone (ACTH), and rarely thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) with their appropriate clinical phenotypes

  • A number of clinical trials have shown that pituitary dysfunction can be associated with schizophrenia and even epilepsy

Summary

Introduction

C: I: Parhon and his colleagues have drawn attention to the existence of psychic disorders, especially manic-depressive and delusional, in a range of endocrine disorders such as acromegaly, gigantism, adiposegenital dystrophy, highlighting the aggressiveness of patients with acromegaly. Other pituitary adenomas are incapable of producing biologically active hormones, being non-functional, clinically manifested by pituitary hypopuncture.
